Do you need cyber insurance?
First sentence has to say Think of Cyber Insurance as your safety net.
Ideally, you should have solid IT and cybersecurity protections to ward off breaches and prevent a ransomware attack. However, no method guarantees absolute security. Insurance steps in when all else fails, cushioning the blow of a successful cyber-attack on your operations.
Consider these statistics:
• 76% of SMBs were impacted by at least one cybersecurity attack in 2022, a significant rise from 55% in 2020.
• 43% of cyber-attacks target small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
• Nearly 40% of small businesses report data loss due to a cyberattack, leading to substantial disruption and financial loss.
• Of small businesses, 37% suffer financial loss, 25% file for bankruptcy, and over 9.7% go out of business.
• 83% of SMBs are unprepared to recover from the financial damages of a cyber attack.
• Over 89% of businesses with insurance state it covered their losses—and 87% were pleased they had it.
So how do you Protect your business?
